If you’re in Maine, your monthly cost for full coverage car insurance is $142, which adds up to $1,701 per year. For minimum coverage, expect to pay an average of $31 monthly, or $377 a year.

Insurance companies calculate your premiums based partly on where you live. They consider factors such as traffic and accident rates, the number of car thefts in your area, and how expensive it is to repair your vehicle.

If you live in a busy city with heavy traffic and high theft rates, you’ll likely pay more for car insurance than someone in a rural area with fewer cars on the road and lower accident risks.

Other than location, your age, driving history, credit score and ZIP code also influence your insurance rates.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in Maine

Your car insurance premium is determined by the coverage limits you choose.

If you purchase only the state’s minimum liability limits, you’ll pay $31 per month or $377 annually. While an affordable option, it only includes liability coverage. That means any damage to your own vehicle won’t be covered.

If you’re looking for more robust protection, consider choosing full coverage car insurance. It includes liability coverage, plus collision and comprehensive insurance. Collision coverage covers damage to your vehicle in an accident, no matter who’s at fault. Comprehensive insurance covers theft, vandalism or weather-related damage to your car.

In Maine, drivers typically pay $142 per month or $1,701 annually for full coverage car insurance.

Although it costs more than minimum coverage, full coverage can be a smart choice -particularly if you have a newer or financed vehicle.

Coverage limitsAverage annual cost
State minimum liability-only$377
Liability only$384
Full coverage$1,701
Non-owner state minimum liability$201

Average car insurance cost in Maine by city

Car insurance rates can vary widely depending on where you live, even within Maine.

Cities like Lewiston, Augusta, or Auburn tend to have higher premiums due to heavier traffic, more frequent accidents, and a greater risk of theft or damage.

On the other hand, car insurance is generally more affordable in cities like Biddeford or Westbrook, with average annual premiums between $1,515 and $1,526.

This is largely because these cities have fewer accidents, less traffic, and lower rates of vehicle theft or vandalism.

Average car insurance cost in Maine by age

Age is one of the most important factors insurers consider when pricing car insurance. Young drivers usually pay more because insurers see them as higher risk due to their limited experience behind the wheel.

Premiums are typically most expensive for teens, begin to decrease after age 25, and then rise again as drivers enter their 70s.

Here’s a breakdown of what you might pay for full coverage in Maine, based on age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Maine for young drivers

If you’re a younger driver, expect to pay higher premiums on your car insurance.

Insurers consider young drivers risky because of the increased risk that comes with limited driving experience.

For instance, a 20-year-old male driver in Maine pays an average of $4,521 annually for car insurance, compared to $3,733 for a female driver of the same age.

By age 25, car insurance premiums typically decrease to $2,211 per year for male drivers and $1,960 for female drivers. While still slightly above average, it’s a substantial drop from what drivers pay in their early 20s.
